She has been in private practice for over 25 years in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and more recently has relocated to Sonoma to establish a couple’s retreat and coaching practice in this beautiful wine country. She is a Masters in Social Work graduate of Adelphi University, New York, certified in advanced hypnosis, holds advanced certification in Imago Couple therapy and completed training in Spiritual Direction through the Center for Spirituality and Justice in New York.
Marianne has presented workshops dealing with relationship, self-esteem and spiritual awareness extensively throughout the United States. She has lectured to groups and consulted with organizations on the subject of emotional well-being through positive thinking, nutrition and exercise. Her work today is to guide and support clients in creating healthy lifestyles and relationships through understanding the dynamics of their own story, enhancing self-esteem, becoming mindful, setting goals, and working their plan. She also encourages individuals to bring spiritual and non-material awareness into their conscious choices.
Prior to her current profession, Marianne was an aesthetician and make-up artist working primarily with facially traumatized women. She worked with Stanford University Hospital Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and volunteered at the Santa Clara Hospital Burn Unit while maintaining a private studio in the San Francisco Bay area for 17 years. It was through this experience that she began to understand the effects of trauma or abuse or neglect on the psyche of an individual at any age, and how it interferes with one’s ability to achieve success and fulfillment in life. Those physical scars her clients came to her with often went soul-deep and it was through this realization that she felt the impetus to move forward with her education and change gears mid-life. Answering this calling has brought much gratification to her life.
Her greatest education however came in the earlier part of her life as she struggled through her own personal challenges. Through the the guidance of a therapist and caring people, and her own belief in the ability for humans to heal even the deepest wounds, she was able to thrive and become the person she is today... positive, joyful and grateful.
More importantly, Marianne says, “Raising my sons to be happy, healthy and productive husbands and fathers is my greatest accomplishment and watching them raise their families is my most satisfying reward. I am blessed.”
